• Science Slam: Dark Matter and Liquid Batteries for Electric Vehicles

  …make regular batteries rechargeable and suitable for electric cars, we had to improve them and make them liquid. So we took all the active substances – cathode, anode and electrolyte, added some starch and made liquid electrodes. How does this new battery work? Positive and negative electrode materials cannot mix, so they have to be stored in separate tanks. B…
